Fragile X syndrome
is a genetic condition that causes a range of developmental problems including learning disabilities and cognitive impairment. Usually, males are more severely affected by this disorder than females.

Affected individuals usually have delayed development of speech and language by age 2. Most males with
fragile X syndrome
have mild to moderate intellectual disability, while about one-third of affected females are intellectually disabled. Children with
fragile X syndrome
may also have anxiety and hyperactive behavior such as fidgeting or impulsive actions. They may have attention deficit disorder (ADD), which includes an impaired ability to maintain attention and difficulty focusing on specific tasks. About one-third of individuals with
fragile X syndrome
have features of autism spectrum disorders that affect communication and social interaction. Seizures occur in about 15 percent of males and about 5 percent of females with
fragile X syndrome
.

Most males and about half of females with
fragile X syndrome
have characteristic physical features that become more apparent with age. These features include a
long and narrow
face
, large ears, a prominent jaw and forehead, unusually flexible fingers,
flat
feet
, and in males, enlarged testicles (macroorchidism) after puberty.

Fragile X syndrome
occurs in approximately 1 in 4,000 males and 1 in 8,000 females.

Mutations in the gene cause
fragile X syndrome
. The
FMR1
gene provides instructions for making a protein called FMRP. This protein helps regulate the production of other proteins and plays a role in the development of

, which are specialized connections between nerve cells. Synapses are critical for relaying nerve impulses.

Nearly all cases of
fragile X syndrome
are caused by a mutation in which a DNA segment, known as the CGG triplet repeat, is expanded within the
FMR1
gene. Normally, this DNA segment is repeated from 5 to about 40 times. In people with
fragile X syndrome
, however, the CGG segment is repeated more than 200 times. The abnormally expanded CGG segment turns off (silences) the
FMR1
gene, which prevents the gene from producing FMRP. Loss or a shortage (deficiency) of this protein disrupts nervous system functions and leads to the signs and symptoms of
fragile X syndrome
.

We often examine a painting with transmitted visible light and infrared radiation. In particular, Transmitted Infrared photography () is part of the Technical Photography documentation and allows to detect underdrawing and pentimenti. It is a very effective imaging method since pigments become even more transparent than in the usual photography method.

So, we are releasing a new

with a translucent support,such that of a canvas painting. Now you can use

to practice also those useful and effective imaging methods implying transmitted radiation. With
Pigments Checker
v.5 you can now practice Transmitted Infrared photography () which is part of the Technical Photography documentation and allows to detect underdrawing and
pentimenti
. It is a very effective imaging method since pigments become even more transparent than in the usual photography method.This method is useful for art on translucent supports, such as paintings on canvas, drawings on paper and historical documents and manuscripts. The lamp providing radiation should face the back of the painting while the camera focus on the front. The lamp should be shielded so that only the radiation through the canvas can reach the camera. Any other source of radiation in the examination room should be turned off to avoid diffused light (actually diffused infrared).

often provides better images compared to for detecting underdrawing, underpainting, pentimenti, or just the actual build-up technique of the painter to shape of the figures. is so powerful in particular for white pigments, such as
nike air max infant 8 week development
and
titanium white
, the most common in the art, very important white pigments in art, are the most used, respectively, before and after about 1920′. These pigments reflect a lot of the incoming infrared and, consequently, their hiding power is barely affected by infrared coming from the front. They will just reflect most of the and they will not produce contrast between the ground and the underdrawing. When the infrared radiation comes from the back (transmission), the infrared can penetrate the paint and the underdrawing becomes apparent in the resulted image.

January 15th for Fall admissions. (The Fall semester begins at the end of August)

Every student accepted into the D.M.A. in Composition program at Cornell receives four years of guaranteed funding, including financial support for three summers. Every student is given a fellowship for the first year; the remaining semester of fellowship is usually taken in the fourth year, or may be deferred if outside funding is procured by the student. The remaining 2.5 years of funding are in the form of teaching assistantships. Student Health Insurance is provided under fellowship and teaching assistantships. Partners, spouses, and dependants can be included for additional charges.

Although it is possible to complete the D.M.A within four years, most students require more time. When possible the department may offer additional semesters of teaching, but such support is not guaranteed. Many students seek outside fellowships beginning in their fourth third year. There are also a few dissertation fellowships available through various Cornell programs. Entering students are encouraged to apply for Javits, Mellon, or other outside fellowships as another means of extending their graduate support. For a list of external and internal graduate fellowships (searchable by keyword, program name, or deadline) see the

The Department of Music offers a wide variety of teaching experiences, and students are free to request a specific teaching assignment. The faculty makes every effort to match interest and skill to course offerings.
